Each Pentium II or Pentium III processor is packaged in a cartridge. The cartridge includes the processor core with an integrated 16 KB primary (L1) cache, the secondary (L2) cache, and a back cover.
The processor implements the MMX™ technology and maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, Intel386™ , Intel486™ , Pentium, Pentium Pro and previous Pentium II processors. The processor’s numeric coprocessor significantly increases the speed of floating point operations and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard
Each processor cartridge connects to the server board through a 242 pin edge connector. The cartridge is secured by a retention mechanism attached to the server board. Depending on configuration, your server may have one or two processors.
The processor external interface is MP
The second level cache is located on the substrate of the S.E.C. cartridge. The cache includes burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM). The L2 cache is offered in 512 KB configurations only, with error correcting code (ECC) that operates at half the core clock rate.
/NOTE
If you install a processor that is 550 MHz or faster, and you use the server management feature board, you must run the FRUSDR update utility.
MemoryOnly 100 MHz PC/100 ECC or
(64 bit main memory plus ECC):
∙Install from 64 MB to 2 GB of memory, using registered DIMMs.
∙Install from 32 MB to 1 GB of memory, using unbuffered DIMMs.
Memory should be added in order from slot 1 to slot 4.
/NOTE
Do not mix registered and unbuffered memory. Non ECC memory may be installed but ECC memory is recommended in a server environment. Mixing
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the server via configuration registers.
